I don't think people understand what a trilogy is anymore. More people from the current generation just saying words.

And the sequel cemented it - the Wonder Woman movies are not a trilogy. There is no overarching connection, and then second one had no links to an overarching struggle or so on. These aren't trilogies. It's just three movies. Full of melodrama.

For anyone that doesn't really understand this - here's an example.

Star Trek The Motion Picture + The Wrath of Khan + The Search For Spock does not = "trilogy"
The Wrath of Khan + The Search for Spock + The Voyage Home = Trilogy

As far as quality? I really liked the first one when it came out, but I've come to realize with hindsight as clarity that I thought the first one was better than it actually is because it surrendered it's social pandering and instead delivered on a likeable female character and relationship. And I was jazzed because of that - that the first Wonder Woman didn't embrace the woke bull $#!( of it's era.

But in hindsight, the first movie isn't that good as a movie. Neither was the second. They aren't bad. But they aren't good and they certainty haven't done any 'trilogy building'.
